Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being
of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.
Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
Who and what do we treat?
Our patients include the young, older people, manual workers, office professionals, pregnant women, children and sports people. Patients seek treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including back pain, changes to posture in pregnancy, postural problems caused by driving or work strain, the pain of arthritis and minor sports injuries.

We are delighted to announce that Shockwave Therapy is now available at Follan. Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, clinically proven treatment option for many tendon and musculoskeletal conditions.
How it works
Shockwaves are sound waves and these are created in the hand-piece of our machine by a projectile. These sound waves travel through the skin and into the muscle tissue, creating inflammation and micro-trauma on a cellular level that reduces pain, increases blood-flow and kick starts your body's natural healing process.
Shockwave treatment is an innovate new treatment option for many conditions including:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Foot and ankle tendinopathies
Heel spurs
Jumpers Knee
Hip pain (greater trochanteric pain syndrome)
Tennis / Golfers elbow
Painful shoulder
Lumbago
Shin splints
